The present invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and more specifically, the details of the meter (Meter) data and the operation history (Alarm History) of the equipment in the UPS (hereinafter referred to as "UPS") visually check In addition, by printing the display data to the printer and documenting the data, it is possible to record and preserve the data, and to automatically print a record of the uninterruptible power supply, which allows for convenient management of reports and other equipment from the UPS administrator side. will be.

In general, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a system that automatically and automatically supplies power in an instant when a power supply is interrupted or a power failure is also called an uninterruptible power supply or an uninterruptible power supply.

UPS is an essential device for electromagnetic airflow, including a computer, which requires continuous and continuous power supply. It provides stable power even in the event of voltage or frequency fluctuations or momentary power failures to prevent or protect computer data from being destroyed or erased. It is a device to prevent the loss of control function and malfunction of the control device.

In addition, if the voltage is higher and lower than the specified value or the waveform distortion is not within the specified value, the computer will not operate normally and the data will be destroyed or lost. It is a device that supplies power in uninterrupted state at all times in order to protect the computer data from the unstable commercial power supply.

When the above-mentioned UPS is small, it is mainly installed next to a desk close to a computer, and when it is large, it is installed in an electric room or a computer room close to a power source.

These UPS can be divided into three major components: rectifier for converting AC, which is a commercial power source, to DC, a monitor for displaying input / output voltage current, UPS status, and the like. It consists of an inverter that converts to.

In addition, the three main components are composed of the main components and electronic components, of which small electronic components are inserted into and mounted on a printed circuit board, and the large main components are positioned while occupying a predetermined space inside the UPS.

During the use of the UPS, a variety of alarms, such as a power failure or a temporary power failure, are used to grasp various alarm details and display the generated situation for a predetermined time, and to temporarily store them.

However, such a conventional UPS has a limited memory capacity for storing various generated alarms, and when the memory capacity is exceeded, the contents stored in the first order are deleted in order from the first stored, and thus, a predetermined time is lost. If the alarm history was not checked until the elapsed time, the contents could not be confirmed, and there was a problem in that data on the alarm history could not be recorded and stored.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is not only to visually check the meter data in the UPS and the details of the alarm history and the operation history of the equipment at the present time, but also to output the display data to the printer and output the data. By documenting the data, it is possible to record and preserve the data, and to provide a method of automatically printing records of the uninterruptible power supply to facilitate the management of reports and other equipment on the part of the U.S. administrator.
